In Other Words

She is found in the shop and the street;
She sits in a restaurant chair;
She may be bourgeois or élite;
But she thrills to the Southerner’s air.
From Portsmouth, N. H., and Big Bear,
N. Y., this ubiquitous pixie.
Though blue was her grandfather’s wear,
She always applauded at ‘‘Dixie.”

L’Envoi
O Epitaph-makers, prepare
This sentence, and chisel it quick, see:
HERE LIETH MISS LEGION, THE FAIR:
SHE ALWAYS APPLAUDED AT “DIXIE.”
